ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) - I
Initiated by ESA because of the need for co-ordinated sustained
satellite observations of geophysical parameters that are key to
monitor & predict the Earths‘ climate system
Key drivers:
• ISCCP-Reports
• UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
• Global Climate Observating System (GCOS)
GCOS issued list of so-called Essential Climate Variables
(ECV)s, variables that are feasible to retrieve & have a high
impact according to UNFCCC requirements.
One of these ECVs: Sea Ice

ESA CCI Sea Ice - Parameters
Provide:
• Quality controlled, user assessed, validated sea ice
concentration (SIC) time series for 1979-today for both
hemispheres
• Quality controlled, user assessed, validated sea ice thickness

• Feasibility study about SIT retrieval in the Antarctic, including
update of current snow depth on Antarctic sea ice data set

ESA CCI & SMOS - I
We learned today:
• Sea ice thickness (SIT) retrieval using SMOS is feasible
• SMOS SIT uncertainty can be described properly & is mainly a function of ice temperature & salinity& assumptions made for the retrieval
Therefore:
• SMOS SIT is an important addition to current and future (ESA-CCI) SIT data sets
• SMOS SIT fills gap at lower SIT range, where Cryosat-II & ICESat-I /-II fail or are likely to fail because of

ESA CCI & SMOS - II
SMOS SIT product does not yet meet ECV requirements:
• Validation still in baby shoes
• Time series too short
• Research stadium
BUT:
• Very valuable data set for Arctic SIT inter-comparison studies
within WP4
• Might turn out as the only data set able to capture Arctic ocean
fall freeze-up properly
YES, WE WOULD APPRIATE TO RECEIVE DATA:
• 50 km grid resolution // monthly // physically based
uncertainty estimates // RFI flags // SIC // IST // netCDF

ESA CCI Sea Ice – User questionnaire
A user questionnaire has been set up
• Which sea-ice parameters are how important for you?
• For sea ice concentration and sea ice thickness: What are your requirements [today & in the future] in terms of / how important is
-
Spatial-temporal resolution / Region / Time
period
-
Uncertainty budget (accuracy, precision,
long-term stability)
